DIS Dads DDC XXX: Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike, What Day Is It Mike?

[Twin Dad]

That's great news! (About the adoption. Not the Pacers. I don't think I've card about the NBA in about 10 years or so.)

Is that the last time Milwaukee had a good team?

So here is now last night went.

Her fate remains unkown, but given her iron stomach and general lack of symptoms, she seems poised to survive. I shall check on her at lunch and see.

Sorry about the rough night. Hope it wall works out in the end.

So here is now last night went. ...
6:15 AM – The dog is in and saying good morning to everyone when, without sound or warning, she unleashes a cloud of stench that would knock the feathers off a duck. She seems proud. I know I would be. ...

What better way to greet the morning?

Hope the dog survives.

So here is now last night went.

11:00 PM - about to hit the sack...went into the kitchen and found shredded cardboard EVERYWHERE.
11:05 - Investigation revealed the cardboard was the remnant of a World's Finest Chocolate box. Memory files are hazy on the exact remaining contents, but a nagging certainty lingers that it contained 2 dark chocolate bars.
11:06 PM - Locate Beagle's nose sticking out from under daughter's bed. Lift dust ruffle, view guilty expression.
11:10 PM - Reviewed chocolate consumption protocols on the internet and have determined dog will either be fine or be dead. Pondering pros and cons of each.
11:15 PM- On the advice of vet line, administer Hydrogen Peroxide to beagle to induce vomiting. Explain to said canine that in the event of dire consequences, that I would miss her terribly, but I would NOT dip into the Disney fund to go have her fool stomach pumped or check her into the doggie ER. Because she’s a dog. Not a person.
11:30 PM - I walk around the yard waiting for the dog to do something. She never does.
12:00 AM – The dog wants to play ball.
12:30 AM – The dog has been howling at the lamp for the past several minutes.
1:00 AM– The dog has yet to vomit or show any signs other than excitement. And possibly paranoia.
1:45 AM – After running around a bit more, the dog fell asleep.
5:45 AM – The dog is awake and wants out. She has still not expelled anything at this point, and as far as purging the contaminant from her stomach, it wouldn’t matter if she did...that window has passed.
6:15 AM – The dog is in and saying good morning to everyone when, without sound or warning, she unleashes a cloud of stench that would knock the feathers off a duck. She seems proud. I know I would be.
7:30 AM – The dog is in her kennel, and I am heading to work with a double strong cup of coffee.

Her fate remains unkown, but given her iron stomach and general lack of symptoms, she seems poised to survive. I shall check on her at lunch and see.

Very few things on this board have made me laugh like this one did. Thank you. Go home and get some sleep.

Found out last night that DD has a big presentation due on 12/16. Unbeknownst to DD, we will be wandering through Downtown Disney that day. Fortunately, DW e-mailed the teacher and she is allowing her to do the presentation on 12/13. But since DD still doesn't know about the WDW trip, I need to put some spin on the situation to try to explain why she's doing her report early without spilling the beans on the trip.

 

[Twin Dad]

Good luck with that Chris. I know you'll think of something semi believable.

That is off the charts funny. Sorry you had to endure the no sleep and the stench, but that is hilarious.

HOpe the teacher doesn't spill the beans or tell your dd about the trip.

Daaaaang. Good to see you have a sense of humor about it. My dog got skunked a few weeks back. We're still trying to get the smell out of the house.

Is that the last time Milwaukee had a good team?

Milwaukee has a team!?! Since when?!?

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

OK, I'm tired just reading that.

Good…
It tuckered me out writing it (and I still got to do it as well).

I'm not sure if I mentioned it here yet, but we did get word that the kids we are adopting in Poland will learn they are being adopted and get their photo books we sent them before Christmas with the risk of me losing my man card, I got quite emotional when we learned this. We are almost to the end in this process.

One more milestone; much change to your world is imminent.
Continued prayers and thoughts as you’ll all be needing them through the biggest transition.

You may want to dust the house thought… it seem to be troubling your eyes a might.

For some reason, I love that title.

Oh yah… prayers for the dog (if needed… which I doubt), but in the meantime…

cough syrup with codeine is wonderful stuff.

Yes, yes it is.
Dang shame you can't get the stuff OTC round here.

Found out last night that DD has a big presentation due on 12/16. Unbeknownst to DD, we will be wandering through Downtown Disney that day.

But since DD still doesn't know about the WDW trip, I need to put some spin on the situation to try to explain why she's doing her report early without spilling the beans on the trip.

Quite the dilemma…
Being told that she could do it latter would be easier to explain, but a story that makes her think that having less time to do the work is both a good thing and a privilege… that’ll be a bit tougher.

Maybe the teacher is so confident in her work that she wants her to be first so as to illustrate to the rest of the class just how the job ought to be done. (Don’t know that I’d buy into it, but it is one possibility.)

 

[Goofy + 3]

HOpe the teacher doesn't spill the beans or tell your dd about the trip.

Teacher's a good sport. She knows it's a surprise and will keep the secret. Interestingly, the reports are on "Winter Holidays from around the world". She chose Germany. Last time I checked there was a pavillion in Epcot by the same name. We'll be sure to get the teacher some chocolates from there. I'd consider buying candies for all the kids but there are 27 students and with Disney prices that could get costly.

The tough part is figuring out how to surprise the kids. My oldest has always said that someday she just wants me to wake her up and tell her, "Today's the day. Get in the car, we're going to Disney World". I'll probably go that route and record it for you all to see.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

Sounds like you had a great night. Maybe next time you should leave an extra chocolate bar laying around.....

Just have her move the date up for the while class. Then after yall leave for the trip she can let everyone know that can have 3 more days if they need it.

 

[mm1971]

Happy Hump Day gentlemen.

I'm really getting pressed to let the kids get a dog. I have been telling the kids they have to show me they can handle the responsibility. I got DW on my side when I told her I'm the one who REALLY doesn't want a dog and I won't clean up after it. Now I have an ally and the kids are starting to take on more responsibility and listen when they are told to do chores.

First, hump day, shmump day. That pic is good 7 days a week!

Second, we have been off and on about the getting a dog thing. Then we think about what we'll of with the dog when we are on vacation, whose going to clean up, walk the dog in the winter when it's colder than a witches……..well, you know. Then we all decide life is pretty good without. Good luck making the decision.

or as it is known in my house....

Wednesday.

Sounds about right.

Business Time

Now that there is funny.

Happy Thursday boys

Nice start to the unmeaningful regular NBA season by the Pacers, 5-0.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it here yet, but we did get word that the kids we are adopting in Poland will learn they are being adopted and get their photo books we sent them before Christmas with the risk of me losing my man card, I got quite emotional when we learned this. We are almost to the end in this process.

There is no man card restriction on caring about people. Especially given the situation. Hold that card high and prayers it continues to go quickly and smoothly.

Great news David!

Here is your morning picture.

Good Morning Randall. Thanks for the pic. It's looking a little overcast there this morning. Pretty similar to up here, but a LOT more fun. Enjoy the day.

It's probably a good thing she's doing her report BEFORE seeing Christmas Around the World at Epcot. The Germany/Pickle Tree story is apocraphyl. People from Germany have never heard of it.

Interesting. Of course I had to look up "apocraphal", but it was worth it.

 

[AirGoofy]

On my way home. I have my annual physical tomorrow. I figured it would be so bad, I took the rest of the day and Mon & Tues as well.

Interesting. Of course I had to look up "apocraphal", but it was worth it.

Aaron is way too smart. I'm not to look it up as I am a product of the ky educational system. Unless it has to do with college basketball.

Glad teacher is working with you. I was so disappointed trying to surprise our dds. I won't try it again.

First, hump day, shmump day. That pic is good 7 days a week!
.

Agreed. Don't need a man law, just an internet search key for those pictures.

 

[declansdad]

2 board meetings done but missed the opening session of the conference. I guess I'll check out downtown Calgary for a bit.

Hope you are all having a good day.

 

[jmwest]

Glad I checked in here this afternoon. Two things I needed:

Happy Thursday boys



I'm not sure if I mentioned it here yet, but we did get word that the kids we are adopting in Poland will learn they are being adopted and get their photo books we sent them before Christmas with the risk of me losing my man card, I got quite emotional when we learned this. We are almost to the end in this process.

First off, I needed to see this. It gave me a great feeling of joy for you and your family David. Such a warm thought.

So here is now last night went.

11:00 PM - about to hit the sack...went into the kitchen and found shredded cardboard EVERYWHERE.
11:05 - Investigation revealed the cardboard was the remnant of a World's Finest Chocolate box. Memory files are hazy on the exact remaining contents, but a nagging certainty lingers that it contained 2 dark chocolate bars.
11:06 PM - Locate Beagle's nose sticking out from under daughter's bed. Lift dust ruffle, view guilty expression.
11:10 PM - Reviewed chocolate consumption protocols on the internet and have determined dog will either be fine or be dead. Pondering pros and cons of each.
11:15 PM- On the advice of vet line, administer Hydrogen Peroxide to beagle to induce vomiting. Explain to said canine that in the event of dire consequences, that I would miss her terribly, but I would NOT dip into the Disney fund to go have her fool stomach pumped or check her into the doggie ER. Because she’s a dog. Not a person.
11:30 PM - I walk around the yard waiting for the dog to do something. She never does.
12:00 AM – The dog wants to play ball.
12:30 AM – The dog has been howling at the lamp for the past several minutes.
1:00 AM– The dog has yet to vomit or show any signs other than excitement. And possibly paranoia.
1:45 AM – After running around a bit more, the dog fell asleep.
5:45 AM – The dog is awake and wants out. She has still not expelled anything at this point, and as far as purging the contaminant from her stomach, it wouldn’t matter if she did...that window has passed.
6:15 AM – The dog is in and saying good morning to everyone when, without sound or warning, she unleashes a cloud of stench that would knock the feathers off a duck. She seems proud. I know I would be.
7:30 AM – The dog is in her kennel, and I am heading to work with a double strong cup of coffee.

Her fate remains unkown, but given her iron stomach and general lack of symptoms, she seems poised to survive. I shall check on her at lunch and see.

And secondly, I needed this. It got a good belly laugh going that I had to stifle so as to not get questions from the others as to why I'm laughing at my desk. Glad things seem to have worked out for the best.

 

[afwdwfan]

I think there's an NFL game tonight, but will anyone actually be watching it with the Baylor/Oklahoma and Oregon/Stanford double header going against it tonight???

I'm pretty pumped to watch some college football tonight. I know we'll be shelling corn for a while, so I don't know if I'll get to check out this high powered Baylor offense, but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Oregon and Stanford later tonight... and I can't believe I just said I'm looking forward to watching a Pac 12 game.
